Poor Willow. I would have her seen by a vet to get pain medication. Please do not give her any human pain medications as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Until you can get her into a vet, rest her. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to potty on a leash and bring her right back in when she’s done. Best of luck.
